Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: Missing Tracks - Which Legacy Courses Aren't In MK8?

Of course the left-over Wii tracks are some of my favorites. Why did we keep getting so many GBA tracks? Those are barely worth talking about. Except the Bowser Castles and Snow Land. So then why didn't we get any of the Bowser Castles from that game?

@Stew I feel they didn't want to include to many Bowsers castles this time, keep the booster course one as a classic 1-2 punch with Rainbow road.

I liked how they used to revamp them, but they really dropped the ball on the park one! No glider section at the end? It is now literally more fun to play in Tour!

We've had a few I have been begging for, and a few I never knew I wanted!

I think about 4/5th of the city courses are absolutely amazing, the new tracks are all gold...well except the icecream one.., and we got such a huge variety of tracks!

I would've loved Wario Coliseum, Mushroom city, the remix Vanilla lake combo from tour and gba or gcn Rainbow road.

But man, what a line up! 🤎
